This quote, much like the previous one, gives insight into the thoughts of Inman. However, instead of showing Inman's need to point blame, this quote shows his pessimistic thoughts. Instead of believing that what he is fighting for will make the world better, he only sees it as a start to a downhill progression of humanity. This proves just how hopeless Inman feels. Inman is an exaggeration of almost all people. Negativity builds much quicker than positivity and this is shown here. While not all humans are pessimists, most are. That is what makes this quote
